HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUKE SKYWALKER!!!
According to the Star Wars Homing Beacon that I just read, George Lucas said that he started writing the very first draft of The Star Wars (the original title) on April 17, 1973. Thus, Luke's birthday was technically yesterday, but I just read the thing ten minutes ago has a date.
It didn't say anything about Leia or Han or anyone else, but Luke was definately in the first draft, with the name Skywalker, even. (It was later changed to Starkiller, and then back again).
And this is why most people won't watch Star Wars movies with me. I know far too much trivia about them, and I have trouble shutting up.
movies,
birthday,
